ACADEMIC REGULATIONS Degree Requirements In addition to those discussed on pages 29-31* are these requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree: The student must earn forty-four advanced credits (courses numbered 300 or higher), of which thirty must be earned at the University of Dallas. In the major department, the last twelve advanced credits must be earned here. ** Grades below C in advanced courses in the major department do not count toward fulfillment of the major program. The total of credits accepted for, correspondence, extension, and televi­ sion courses is, in the lower division, eighteen credits; and in the upper division, twelve credits. The student must satisfy the requirements of the department in which he chooses to major. In his senior year, the student must receive certification of the Writing Committee that he has achieved a satisfactory level of literacy. In the second semester of his senior year, the student must pass a comprehensive exami­ nation in his major subject and must also take the Graduate Record Examination. *With approval of the chairman of the department in which the student chooses to major, the student may substitute up to six credits in music or art for equivalent credit in mathematics.

'* * S tudents in the three-year pre-engineering program are exempted from this rule.

59


Transcript Evaluation Final transcript evaluations will not be made until after the student has earned at least twelve credits here with a grade of C or higher. Transferred credit must be applicable to a current curriculum here. Courses passed with grades of D will not be accepted for credit, except in mathematics, foreign langauge, and freshman English composition. The stu足 dent may receive credit for D grades in these courses by earning satisfactory scores on advanced standing examinations or by successful (C or better) work in a more advanced course of the same nature. Transferred grade-point average will be based on total grade points earned and credits attempted_

Optional Attendance Class attendance is optional for junior and senior students who have and maintain a 3.00 average, providing they have been full-time students at the University of Dallas for two semesters. Such permission encourages in the student the further development of maturity, judgment, and responsibility by placing more squarely on his shoulders the obligation of managing his quest for education. He must attend class on days of announced tests and scheduled examinations, but on other class days he may decide for himself whether his time would be more profitably spent by attending the lecture period or by furthering his educa足 tion in another way, i.e., by library research, private study, or some other activity.

Classification of Students A student who has earned less than twenty-four credits is classified as a freshman; from twenty-four to fifty-nine credits, a sophomore. To be classi足 fied as a junior, a student must have earned sixty credits and have accumu足 lated a minimum total of one hundred twenty grade points. A senior student is one who has earned ninety credits and is capable of finishing in one year all requirements for the degree.

MAJOR PROGRAMS 1960 Graduates The University of Dallas will graduate its first class in June, 1960; members of this class will receive Bachelor of Arts degrees and will have chosen their maj or programs within these departments: Biology Business and Economics Education English History and Political Science Mathematics Philosophy Speech and Drama Such students may elect minors within the departments above or in: Chemistry Psychology Theology 61


1961-62 Graduates Majors in Art, Chemistry, Foreign Languages, Music, Physics, Psy­ chology, Sociology, and Theology will not be available until such time as these departments can be adequately developed. Major programs within several of these departments will be available for students beginning their junior year in 1959. It is expected that students entering as freshmen in the fall of 1958 will be enabled to elect a major program within any department of the University.

Transfer Students, Junior Year Transfer students who wish to graduate with the University's first class (June, 1950) should have earned a minimum of approximately 60 credits with a grade of C by the beginning of their junior year (Fall, 1958). Students with less than 60 credits may by attending summer school be enabled to finish with the 1960 graduates. In choosing their major pro­ grams, students transferring to the junior class should consider the recom­ mendations listed on pages 62-63. Is is probable that most transfer students will have taken few if any courses in Philosophy or Theology. One of the strong factors in the Univer­ sity of Dallas curriculum is the emphasis placed on the importance of Phi­ losophy and Theology in achieving true higher education. Students with no credit in Philosophy will be able to meet the University requirements by taking Logic (Philosophy 101) and Introductory Philosophy (Philosophy 201-202) in their junior year, and one advanced Philosophy course in each semester of their senior year. For Theology requirements, see page 30.

Prerequisites to Election of Major Program It is advisable or, in some cases, required that the student have com­ pleted basic courses in his major field before he begins his junior year.

Biology The student who wishes to major in biology should have a mini­ mum of six credits in biology, zoology, or botany before he begins his junior year. Also a course in vertebrate anatomy (comparable to our Biology 201) is desirable. However, if the student has not yet had the anatomy course, he may take it in his junior year along with his other major courses.

Business and Economics The student who wishes to major in business and economics should have at the time of transfer credit for at least one course in economics, accounting, or the mathematics of finance.

Education The student who wishes to major in elementary education should have at the beginning of his junior year at least six credits in education courses, preferably introductory psychology, or in orientation courses 62


for the education major. The student preparing to teach in secondary schools will preferably have had such courses by the end of his sopho­ more year, but he may take them in his junior year if necessary. Such students will, in addition to taking courses required for state depart­ ment approval, choose an available major within some other depart­ ment of the University.

English The student who wishes to major in English must have at the beginning of his junior year credit for two semesters of composition, and preferably will also have credit for two semesters of world, British, or American literature.

History and Political Science The transfer student who chooses to major in this department should have by the end of his sophomore year credit for at least two semesters of world, European, British, or American history.

Mathematics The mathematics major should have completed by the end of his sophomore year two semesters of calculus; he should have had also courses in college algebra, trigonometry, plane analytic geometry, and solid analytic geometry.

Philosophy The student who wishes to major in philosophy should have com­ pleted prior to his junior year a semester of logic plus one or two semesters of other philosophy courses.

Speech and Drama Students choosing to major in speech and drama should preferably have at the beginning of their junior year credit for at least two semes­ ters of speech or drama courses.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS Degree Requirements In addition to those discussed on pages 29-31* are these requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree: The student must earn forty-four advanced credits (courses numbered 300 or higher), of which thirty must be earned at the University of Dallas. In the major department, the last twelve advanced credits must be earned here.** Grades below C in advanced courses in the major department do not count toward fulfillment of the major program. The total of credits accepted for correspondence, extension, and televi­ sion courses is, in the lower division, eighteen credits; and in the upper division, twelve credits. The student must satisfy the requirements of the department in which he chooses to major. In his senior year, the student must receive certification of the Writing Committee that he has achieved a satisfactory level of literacy. In the second semester of his senior year~ the student must pass a comprehensive exami¡ nation in his major subject and must also take the Graduate Record Examination. *With approval of the chairman of the department in which the student chooses to major, the student may substitute up to six credits in music or art for equivalent credit in mathematics.

* * Students in the three-year pre-engineering program are exempted from this rule.

59


Transcript Evaluation Final transcript evaluations will not be made until after the student has earned at least twelve credits here with a grade of C or higher ~ Transferred credit must be applicable to a current curriculum here. Courses passed with grades of D will not be accepted for credit, except in mathematics, foreign langauge, and freshman English composition. The stu足 dent may receive credit for D grades in these courses by earning satisfactory scores on advanced standing examinations or by successful (C or better) work in a more advanced course of the same nature. Transferred grade-point average will be based on total grade points earned and credits attempted.

Optional Attendance Class attendance is optional for junior and senior students who have and maintain a 3.00 average, providing they have been full-time students at the University of Dallas for two semesters. Such permission encourages in the student the further development of maturity, judgment, and responsibility by placing more squarely on his shoulders the obligation of managing his quest for education. He must attend class on days of announced tests and scheduled examinations, but on other class days he may decide for himself whether his time would be more profitably spent by attending the lecture period or by furthering his educa足 tion in another way, i.e., by library research, private study, or some other activity.

Classification of Students A student who has earned less than twenty-four credits is classified as a freshman; from twenty-four to fifty-nine credits, a sophomore. To be classi足 fied as a junior, a student must have earned sixty credits and have accumu足 lated a minimum total of one hundred twenty grade points. A senior student is one who has earned ninety credits and is capable of finishing in one year all requirements for the degree.

. MAJOR PROGRAMS 1960 Graduates The University of Dallas will graduate its first class in June, 1960; members of this class will receive Bachelor of Arts degrees and will have chosen their major programs within these departments: Biology Business and Economics Education English History and Political Science Mathematics Philosophy Speech and Drama Such students may elect minors within the departments above or in: Chemistry Psychology Theology 61


1961-62 Graduates Majors in Art, Chemistry, Foreign Languages, Music, Physics, Psy­ chology, Sociology, and Theology will not be available until such time as these departments can be adequately developed. Major programs within several of these departments will be available for students beginning their junior year in 1959. It is expected that students entering as freshmen in the fall of 1958 will be enabled to elect a major program within any department of the University.

Transfer Students, Junior Year Transfer students who wish to graduate with the University's first class (June, 1950) should have earned a minimum of approximately 60 credits with a grade of C by the beginning of their junior year (Fall, 1958). Students with less than 60 credits may by attending summer school be enabled to finish with the 1960 graduates. In choosing their major pro­ grams, students transferring to the junior class should consider the recom­ mendations listed on pages 62-63. Is is probable that most transfer students will have taken few if any courses in Philosophy or Theology. One of the strong factors in the Univer­ sity of Dallas curriculum is the emphasis placed on the importance of Phi­ losophy and Theology in achieving true higher education. Students with no credit in Philosophy will be able to meet the University requirements by taking Logic (Philosophy 101) and Introductory Philosophy (Philosophy 201-202) in their junior year, and one advanced Philosophy course in each semester of their senior year. For Theology requirements, see page 30.

Prerequisites to Election of Major Program It is advisable or, in some cases, required that the student have com­ pleted basic courses in his major field before he begins his junior year.

Biology The student who wishes to major in biology should have a mini­ mum of six credits in biology, zoology, or botany before he begins his junior year. Also a course in vertebrate anatomy (comparable to our Biology 201) is desirable. However, if the student has not yet had the anatomy course, he may take it in his junior year along with his other major courses.

Business and Economics The student who wishes to major in business and economics should have at the time of transfer credit for at least one course in economics, accounting, or the mathematics of finance.

Education The student who wishes to major in elementary education should have at the beginning of his junior year at least six credits in education courses, preferably introductory psychology, or in orientation courses 62


for the education major. The student preparing to teach in secondary schools will preferably have had such courses by the end of his sopho­ more year, but he may take them in his junior year if necessary. Such students will, in addition to taking courses required for state depart­ ment approval, choose an available major within some other depart­ ment of t,he University.

English . The student who wishes to major in English must have at the beginning of his junior year credit for two semesters of composition, and preferably will also have credit for two semesters of world, British, or American literature.

History and Political Science The transfer student who chooses to major in this department should have by the end of his sophomore year credit for at least two semesters of world, European, British, or American history.

Mathematics The mathematics major should have completed by the end of his sophomore year two semesters of calculus; he should have had also courses in college algebra, trigonometry, plane analytic geometry, and solid analytic geometry.

Philosophy The student who wishes to major in philosophy should have com­ pleted prior to his junior year a semester of logic plus one or two semesters of other philosophy courses.

Speech and Drama Students choosing to major in speech and drama should preferably have at the beginning of their junior year credit for at least two semes­ ters of speech or drama courses.
